# Initial Setup ​

When you first launch Actions, it will guide you through the app gestures. Please follow these steps closely as this will help you immensely using Actions in the future. We recommend enabling Dropbox sync for actions, as this will make it possible to install our sample sets and give you the possibility to backup your own sets. To enable Dropbox Sync, perform a 3 finger down swipe in Actions to reveal the connection and settings icon. ​
